Drinks and Cards

[Tycho Draykon]

It had been no more than three days since the mission Crix and Tycho blew up that pirate base. While the two men were in the medical room onboard the Valhala, the two of them agreed that they need to take a little trip to Zeltros for some drinks and card games. Now, this is something that Tycho could not resist. Besides, it may be a while before he can get another escape like this one. While the planet was behind the borders of the United Protectorate it was not too difficult for Tycho to smuggle both of them and Arda to the planet without being noticed. Tycho's, Arda's, and Crix's civilian clothing will make it extremely difficult to point the three of them out as rebels. On top of that with everyone coming here for the same reason, three can easily pass it off as the person being drunk.

Walking the brightly lit streets the criminal looked to his brother, "I have to say this is the best idea we came up with." He told Crix as the two men, and Arda walked into one of the many bars on the street alone but one of three with card game tables. The General looked around, "Why don't you teo go find us a table to join and I will get us some drinks?" He will suggest. He knows what his brother's preferred drink is so Crix will not have to worry about Tycho getting him the wrong drink. He also knows Arda's preferred drink.

Walking up to the bar counter the General waved over one of the bartenders then pointed to the three drinks on display on the back wall shelves, "Can I get one of each of those three drinks, please." He will say. The bartender nodded then turned away to get the drinks. As the General waited he will find himself in between two very drunk Zeltron women as they hung onto his arms, "Hello ladies.." Tycho will simply say as his attention is turned back to the bartender as he put the three glasses in front of the rebel. The man was about to pay when he was told that the first two drinks, two for each of the three rebels, are on the house. Man, this is another good decision they made to come into this place for some drinks.

Nodding to the bartender the General picked up the three drinks then went to search for his brother and the Jedi Master. Not knowing the two zeltron women were following him. Eventually, he will find his brother and Arda and place his drink in front of him, then Arda's in front of her "There ya go. The first two drinks are on the house." He will relay to Crix and Arda as Tycho took a seat next Crix on his left. That was when the criminal noticed he was followed as one of the two women took a seat on his right knee, drapping her arm over his shoulder. The General was so unsure of what to do or say. While he had come to this planet many times, he has never had this happen. The criminal took a sip of his Mandalorian drink and looked to Crix, "Does this happen to you when you come here?" He asked quietly.

[Crix Dolan (TL8)]

Zeltros, the tropical planet of hedonistic celebration and the last place anyone would look for, say a grandmaster of the Jedi Order, and one of her top Generals. The plan was perfect. They'd meticulously covered their tracks and even though Crix still had to hobble a bit but he was ecstatic to be enjoying some downtime with two of the people he was closest with Tycho and Arda.

The trio meandered the busy city streets following the general's lead as they looked for a bar to enjoy. As they walked Tycho excitedly referred to this as their best idea yet and Crix had to laugh. It was nice to see the general loosening up. The past few weeks had been filled with tough fights, hard-won victories, and pod races. The scoundrel was looking forward to a card game a stiff drink and easy conversation. He stole an admiring glance at Arda and quickly looked away. They hadn't really talked about what they were, but he wasn't trying to complicate a good thing. They'd figure it out as they went.

They found a bar and stepped in. There was a decent crowd in the joint and a few card tables just waiting to be taken. As Tycho volunteered to get their drinks, Crix looked to Arda and then nodded toward a table off in the back corner. He took a seat and waited for Arda to join him, "Are we telling Tycho?"

[Arda Breaux]

Of course Arda wanted to come, it was almost embarrassing to say she had never been to Zeltros, but it was the truth, nothing in particular needed to bring her to the world and there were always good pubs on Corellia. It felt good though, even though the Jedi Master was cautious in their small outing with her Knight and top General, she didn't think anything too exciting would happen, but trouble seemed to follow her frequently and she was always prepared. However, that may all dwindle away the more she drank this evening. Brushing her violet hair behind her shoulder, she caught Crix stealing a glance and she couldn't hide a wide grin as she turned her head away for a moment pretending to look at something else that caught her eye. She slipped her hands into the pockets of her jacket, opting to wear a similar smuggler's outfit like when they went to Mon Gazza, but less dirt and burn marks.

She had much been spending her time with Crix, she didn't find it tiring, or burdensome, but she was still trying to figure out also what it was. He had seen and been with her in her most vulnerable moments from the beginning and like any girl in such positions, she worried about the judgement that would fall on her and the face that she had show, but with Crix, she didn't feel idolized, isolated like a prize. Instead, there was an ease, like on the days where she felt she were drowning in Alliance affairs, she could breath again in his presence. Though, Arda wondered if it were to last, she liked it and wanted to see more, but time would only tell.

Following the two spacers into the bar, Tycho suggested he would get the drinks first while she and Crix sat at the table; the Jedi woman sat beside Crix and leaned in closely as he spoke, asking if they should tell Tycho about their relationship. Arda smirked, "I think all the looks you were giving me on the way here, Tycho would clearly know by now." she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before Tycho returned with the drinks and Arda was more than happy to start drinking before the glass even set down on the table. Though, he didn't come alone, having attracted a Zeltron lady friend who draped herself over him.

"Who's your friend?" Arda grinned, ready to give her General a hard time.
